The so called Buy-to-Leave phenomenon is a myth, suggests recent research by the London School of Economics (LSE).
The claim that thousands of homes in London are bought by foreign buyers, only to be left empty, is brought into question by this latest study after the LSE report, commissioned by the new Mayor of London, found that almost no London homes owned by overseas buyers are being left empty.
The LSE study could find almost nothing to support the claims; that “there was almost no evidence of units being left entirely empty certainly less than lpc”.
The LSE report is the first in-depth investigation into foreign ownership of London property.But it would appear that around 50% of properties bought by overseas buyers during the study period had cost under £500,000.
